When I got the Knaggs the only thing I wasn't so keen on was the gloss finish on the wenge pickguard. Knaggs seem to vary the details and the one in Rockshop had a satin finish guard that I thought looked nicer. The headstock on mine also has a veneer which is satin so it seemed worth making a wee change.

I removed the pickugard to do some wiring mods and whilst it was off stripped the gloss clear. I sanded it smooth and gave it a single coat of Tru-Oil. Reassembled it today (with blender pot) and think it looks a lot better:
